Chapter 281 Cultivation World 70
In the second round of the core competition for a spot in the top 100, Si Lingle's opponent was Ling Ge, a genius disciple from the "Wanfa Pavilion".

Lingge has quite a reputation. She is known for studying and integrating many minor supernatural abilities, and is especially good at constructing complex formation offensives.

His immortal power is predominantly wind and fire, and he specializes in a unique skill called the "Seven Tribulations of Wind and Fire Array".

This formation is not laid on the ground, but rather uses immortal power as a guide and divine thought as a pivot, directly imprinting itself into the void, instantly forming a formation that integrates offense and defense, and is unpredictable.

The dimensional arena where the two are located is vast.

Ling Ge stood gracefully, her body radiating a blend of blue and red immortal energy, her eyes sparkling with confidence. She showed no sign of underestimating her opponent; Si Ling Le's initial performance was simply too stunning.

"Senior Sister Si, please enlighten me!" Before the words were finished, Ling Ge's slender fingers had already pointed out like butterflies flitting among flowers, her movements elegant and swift, with a unique rhythm.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
Suddenly, specks of bluish-red light lit up the air, like tiny sparks spreading across the plains.

These light spots were not stationary, but rather moved rapidly between her and Si Lingle, connecting as if an invisible magic brush were sketching rapidly in the void.

In the blink of an eye, a massive network of immortal energy covering most of the arena had already taken shape!
The wind fanned the flames, and the fire grew stronger with the wind!
Seven array eyes, each with a different form and containing different attributes of tribulation power, lit up in the immortal power network:

The first tribulation, Wind Binding: Countless invisible wind ropes appeared out of thin air, not directly targeting Si Lingle, but layer upon layer wrapping around the spatial nodes around her, instantly making that area sluggish and sticky, as if the space itself had been coated with a heavy "mud"!
The second tribulation, the fiery meteor: High in the sky, the condensed tribulation fire immortal power transformed into countless crimson meteors, which, with a mournful howl, poured down like a torrential rain, indiscriminately covering the area where Si Lingle was located!
The Third Tribulation, Flowing Flames: A river of golden-red flames flowed silently from the bottom of the arena space, the intense heat distorting the view, sweeping and spreading like a sea of ​​magma!

The fourth tribulation, the Wind-Splitting Blade: Countless tiny yet incredibly sharp wind blades, invisible to the naked eye, spin at high speed in the wind, like countless miniature winches, cutting through space and emitting a teeth-grinding hiss, filling the gaps in the Wind Binding Array!
The Fifth Tribulation, the Wind and Fire Wall: A wall of energy light, a mixture of blue and red, rose from the ground, surrounding Si Lingle and rapidly contracting and compressing!
The sixth tribulation, the breath of burning the spirit: A scorching aura, hot enough to burn the soul, begins to spread, not affecting the physical body, but drilling straight into the spiritual platform, attempting to disturb the mind!
The Seventh Tribulation, Tribulation Silent: The power of the seven tribulations converges at the center, emanating a destructive aura. It is held back but not unleashed, yet it is the final and most lethal fusion attack of all offensive moves!
All of this happened too fast. The seven tribulations piled up one after another, and in an instant, Si Lingle was trapped in the core of the Wind and Fire Hell!

"Great!" A chorus of exclamations erupted from the viewing platform.

Ling Ge went all out from the very beginning. This "Seven Tribulations of Wind and Fire Formation" advanced layer by layer, sealing off the space for evasion. It included physical attacks, soul interference, and a final threat of killing. It can be called a top-tier combination of divine abilities in the Celestial Immortal Realm!
Faced with this seemingly devastating barrage of attacks, Si Lingle remained as calm and composed as a deep pool.

She didn't move.

Those silver-gray eyes reflected churning wind and fire, falling meteorites, meandering flames, spinning wind blades... and the rapidly shrinking, deadly light barrier.

Her expression was calm to the point of indifference, as if the overwhelming killing intent before her, enough to drive even those of the same level to despair, was nothing more than a rootless illusion reflected on the water's surface.

The first tribulation, Wind Binding, has been inflicted upon me?
The space beneath Si Lingle's feet rippled with the utmost subtlety, like a gentle breeze brushing across a calm lake. Without any struggle, the space that had been entangled and stagnant by the wind ropes "silently slid away"!
It was as if it wasn't a space, but a mirror smeared with grease, making it impossible for the heavy wind binding force to find a foothold! She was still "in the same place," but that "place" was no longer the core of the wind binding!
The second cataclysmic fire meteors rained down?
Si Lingle's figure swayed slightly. She did not dodge at high speed, but simply moved to the side and turned around very naturally. However, strangely, the huge fire meteorites that should have accurately hit her body changed their trajectories visibly when they were still a foot away from her!
It was as if they were crashing not at a person, but at a star with an extremely distorted gravitational field!
Boom! All the fire meteorites fell several feet away from her, exploding into a sky full of sparks, but they did not harm her clothes in the slightest!

It's space itself that's distorting and deflecting the attack path!

Is the third tribulation's fiery spread?
Just as the golden-red lava was about to engulf her, Si Lingle even glanced down at the sea of ​​fire beneath her feet. The next instant, she lifted her foot and gently landed.

They did not step into the fire.

He did not leap into the air.

Instead, she stepped onto a solidified, smooth "water surface"—a spatial plane that had been calmed and compressed to its extreme stability by the force beneath her feet!
The surging flames were contained below, unable to break through this invisible and intangible barrier. She stood there unharmed atop the flames.

The fourth Calamity-Splitting Wind Blade is about to slash through?

About ten feet away from Si Lingle, the air suddenly became as hard and smooth as crystal.

Those tiny wind blades, powerful enough to tear through refined iron, collided with it, producing dense and muffled "plop" sounds, like raindrops hitting a glazed tile roof, instantly shattering and dissipating into nothingness!
That piece of "spatial glass" was as hard as a tortoise shell, completely blocking and neutralizing the cutting force!

The fifth tribulation's wind and fire barrier contracted?

When the energy barrier, intertwined with blue and red, pressed in so close that it was about to completely imprison, squeeze, and refine Si Lingle.

Si Lingle finally raised her hands.

But it wasn't a hand seal or a spell; rather... it was like brushing away dust from a chessboard, lightly waving it left and right in front of him.

hum!
A strange thing happened!

Just as the sturdy wind and fire barrier was about to completely close, it suddenly twisted, folded, and blurred like the reflection of a stone thrown into water... Then, the two barriers seemed to be "scraped apart" by a tremendous force.

It suddenly shifted and deviated out of thin air, like two huge doors being lifted up, crashing into the arena's walls with a bang, exploding in vain and bursting into a sky full of energy flames!
Ling Ge's expression changed drastically, and she instantly lost control of the Wind and Fire Barrier!
That wasn't breaking through; it was more like the possibility of the spatial barrier in this area being "denied" by some higher-level force!
The sixth tribulation of divine burning energy surged forth? The barely perceptible silver-gray ripples once again spread around Si Lingle's body.

This invisible attack on the soul was like a stone thrown into the deep sea; it didn't cause the slightest ripple and was completely neutralized by the folded spatial ripples.

Throughout the entire process, Si Lingle's immortal power fluctuations were extremely subtle, and her movements were incredibly simple.

Her response was not a head-on defense and parry, but rather an inconceivable way that directly "rewrote" the local rules of the space around her, making her opponent's fierce attack feel as if it had hit the smoothest curved surface, the most solid non-Newtonian fluid, or the deepest void black hole!

After seven tribulations and six tribulations, the deadly killing array that Lingge had constructed with a large amount of immortal power was left with only the last remaining seventh tribulation—the Tribulation of Silence! It was a point of destructive light that had condensed in the center of the array!

Lingge gritted her teeth, her eyes resolute.

Having failed in her six tribulations, she had to gamble everything on this final, devastating strike that condensed immense power! She clasped her hands together abruptly, veins bulging, and poured all her immortal energy into the array's core!
"Seven Killings of Calamity, Break!"

The core point of light suddenly erupted!

A blinding beam of light, condensed to its extreme and imbued with the intent to annihilate wind and fire, tore through the air, emitting a destructive shriek, and shot toward Si Lingle at the center of the array at a speed beyond comprehension!
This is the strongest attack she can unleash right now!
Faced with this inescapable (in the eyes of others) calamity light that contained destructive power, Si Lingle's eyes flashed with a silver light.

For the first time, Si Lingle finally took the initiative to confront the enemy.

However, it was not an attack on Ling Ge herself.

Si Lingle gently lifted her right foot and took a step in mid-air towards Lingge.

This step was as light as touching water.

The distance was so great that they didn't even move an inch.

But strangely, this step actually landed on the void that was densely covered by the immortal power imprints of the "Seven Tribulations of Wind and Fire Array"!
Just as her foot (phantom image) landed—

Lingge turned pale with shock!

She felt that the entire immortal power structure of the "Seven Tribulations of Wind and Fire Array," which she had carefully imprinted in the void and connected to her mind, suddenly bore the pressure of ten thousand mountains collapsing!

Click!Click!
The entire void covered by the massive array seemed to be crushed by an invisible giant foot! Space itself groaned under the immense pressure!

Her exquisite array patterns, flowing immortal power, and imprinted nodes... under the extreme compression of space by this kick, suddenly collapsed and squeezed inward!
The "Jieji" beam that was originally aimed at Si Lingle had not flown far when the space it passed through was distorted and twisted in a terrifying way. It was forced to bend its trajectory within the area covered by the array, turning into a stream of light that was frantically refracting and consuming energy within the collapsing array space!

It's more like a huge, three-dimensional painting that was originally unfolded, but was roughly kneaded and flattened by a brute force, and finally shaped into a small "paper ball" with an extremely chaotic spatial structure!
"Pfft!" Ling Ge's mind was shaken. The backlash from the complete collapse of the formation caused her vision to go black. Her immortal power surged back, and she spat out a mouthful of blood with a sweet taste in her throat. She felt as if she had been hit by an invisible hammer, staggering back several steps, and her aura instantly weakened.

Si Lingle gently retracted her raised foot.

The array space that was "collapsed" by a single stomp left only chaotic and disordered energy turbulence slowly dissipating, like a crumpled and discarded draft, with no trace of the celestial array's brilliance remaining.

Si Lingyue stood quietly in place, her gaze fixed on Lingge, who was pale and breathing erratically.

"Junior Sister Lin's formation is exquisite." Her voice remained calm and clear, without sarcasm, as if she were simply stating a fact. "But using a formation to bind the air is also like drawing a circle on the ground to imprison oneself."

As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't move, but her gaze narrowed slightly.

Lingge felt a gentle yet overwhelming spatial "repulsion" force surge towards her, like an invisible wave. As if she were standing on the edge of a receding tide, she was irresistibly pushed backward by this force, lightly flying out of the arena's boundary line and landing steadily on the ground.

The defeat is set.

"Wanfa Pavilion Lingge, step out of the boundary, Si Ling Lesheng!" The elder in charge's voice rang out with a hint of shock.

The entire spectator area fell into an eerie silence, broken only by gasps of surprise.

Si Lingle withdrew her gaze, looked towards the direction of the elders on the high platform, and bowed slightly in acknowledgment, silently announcing her victory in the second round. Against the backdrop of the remaining turbulent energy, her figure appeared so small, yet she seemed to exist independently of this void, unfathomable.

She proved that rule once again:
The strongest defense against her is distance, and the most effective offense is space itself.
